B R' AQUATICS. i n . .71sH YACHT CLUB—We have often censured the . very 111:d.icious practice of deferring matches to a late period of so m a• e o e i ,sen; and never was the folly of such a proceeding alt o " e xemplified as in the match of yesterday.

IRELAND. üblin, Oct. 3. COUNTY OF WICKLOW ADDRESS TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT. The address agreed to at the late county of Wicklow meeting was presented to his Excellency on Friday, by the following deputation : John Parnell, Esq., High Sheriff of the county Wick low ; Earl of Milltown, Ralph Howard, M.P., Henry Grattan, M.P., Christopher Fitzsimon, M.P., W. W. P. Hume, D.L., John Byrne, J.P., Esqrs. ; Colonel Allen, John Nuttall, J.P., H. T. Redmond, J.P., Matthew Ellis, Arthur Symes, John Perrin, and Wm. Ellis, Esq. TO HIS EXCELLENCY CONSTANTINE HENRY EARL OF MULGRAVE, LORD LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND GENE- RAL-GOVERNOR OF IRELAND. May it please your Excellency, we, the inhabitants of the county of Wicklow, in public meeting, convened by the High Sheriff, approach your Excellency with expres sions of satisfaction at your government, and we rejoice that you have received the congratulations of the people of Ireland. His Majesty has expressed, in his closing speech to Par liament, the gratification he felt at the tranquillity of Ire land. This is one of the consequences of the just and impartial system of government which has distinguished your Excellency's career. Thus you have effected a most desirable, and in this country an object of rare occurrence—you have obtained the approbation of the King, and you have also secured that of the people. Your Excellency not only has administered with justice the laws of the land, but you have begun even to render popular the police of this country—a species of force which we cannot but declare to be unconstitutional in its nature, and unknown in a free country, and only to be palliated by the peculiar circumstances in which Ireland was placed. But your Excellency will please to observe, that eight thousand armed men cannot keep in obedience eight mil lions of people, and that it is not the force, but the nature and quality of the law which that force administers, that gives strength, efficacy, and durability to Governments. Therefore it is that most respectfully and most firmly we cloclare, that to secure tranquillity, or render permanent the popularity of your Administration, those laws of which Ire land has complained must be altered ; for if we are to re main united to Great Britain, it is only by the participation of equal rights and liberties. We therefore claim equal justice with her. We claim a Reform as extensive in the abuses of our Corporations. We claim that they shall be rendered subject to vigilant popular controul. But, in particular, we claim an alteration in the tithe system ; and we confidently assert that peace cannot be established in Ireland unless such alterations be adopted. Solicitous for the continuance of your Excellency's admi nistration, we earnestly entreat that you will submit to his Majesty and his Ministers our sentiments of loyalty and attachment, but at the same time this our firm resolve, never to desist from the pursuit of those national and legi timate objects. Subjects of the same King, the Irish must be governed by equal laws, and enjoy equal rights and equal liberties, with England and Scotland. We therefore ask to be put on an equality, for in no other situation will Ireland consent to stand. Hoping that your Excellency may long continue to go vern this part of the empire, we fondly trust that you will lend your aid for the attainment of these national objects, whereby the ties between the governor and the governed will be drawn still closer, your Excellency will receive ad ditional thanks, and on Ireland you will confer additional obligations. ANSWER. Mr. HIGH SHERIFF AND GENTLEMEN—I thank you most sincerely for your congratulations on the tranquillity of the country, and for these expressions of the favourable sense you entertain of the tendency of my government. I feel assured that by extending impartial protection alike to every class of his Majesty's subjects, I best fulfil the intentions and earn the approbation of our gracious So vereign, whose reign has been happily marked by the triumphant establishment of so many salutary reforms, pre viously so long denied. You will not expect that on this occasion I should say more with regard to any legislative enactments, than that I should naturally desire that those principles of government which I make the guide of my executive functions should be established on the most permanent basis. You have alluded to the altered feeling with regard to the constabulary, remarking at the same time upon the nature of that force. No one could more desire than I should that the period might come when its peculiar cha racter could be safely altered ; but as many other changes requiring time must precede that desirable result, I am convinced that I am best confirming the growing confidence in the impartial propriety of its proceedings, of which you speak, by continuing to appoint the most able officers to perfect its discipline and ensure its efficiency, always keep ing within my own immediate superintendence the controul of its conduct. I am grateful for your wishes for the continuance of my government, which I should not desire to retain a moment longer than I felt that its best exertions were directed to secure to Ireland a perfect equality with every other portion of the united empire. THE INAUGURATION.—The Lord Mayor's late inaugu ration was a shabby affair. Indeed, we suspected as much, when we saw the description, or rather the absence of de scription, of the raree-show in the columns of our grange Contemporary, Saunders, who has a knack at varnishing these things as well as that dabbler in th e hue p ecu l iar , who paints to more immediate advantage on such occasions —t o wit, Long, the coachman. We said that such history as Saunders gave of the civic display satisfied us that our information fell short of the wh o l e t rut h ; an d w h y ? Simply, because, in defiance o f i mmemor i a l usage, t h at gilder of gingerbread in the small way, makes no mention whatever of coaches. Indeed, one would suppose that there were no coaches whatever upon the occasion ; and could only conclude that there were horses, because harness is described. And yet the thing is entitled " the equi pages," and that too although the harness of the Lord Mayor's hacks alone is described—we beg pardon, we are informed that the liveries were made by somebody in " the most tasteful manner"—it is not stated whether they were new, or newly dipped. Then follows the history of the Mayor's harness—that of the yoke-fellows being, as we said, altogether overlooked ; and there is scarcely an inch of the thing not described —tenets, hooks, swivels, buttons, pad-ends, buckles, home-tugs, tug-eyes, Clarence reign eyes, breast-links, polypus-rings—all is depicted with the most astonishing accuracy ; but the word carriage is not once mentioned ; it was a crazy subject—not even the new blue paint on the wheels of the Chief Magistrate's turn over could tempt our Contemporary to the use of his varnish-brush on the occasion.—Pilot. NEW TITHE TRAP.—The Leinster Independent in forms us of rather a novel mode of recovering tithes which has just been adopted by the Rev. Mr. Trench, Rector of Ballinakill, in the Queen's County. The bait held out by the worthy parson is an offer of 25 per cent., if they but pay him quietly. This, however, has been indignantly re jected by the great majority of the parishioners. The In dependent affirms that the object of this proposal is to make it the ground of a petition to the Legislature, setting forth how easily he can recover his tithe without having re course to law proceedings.—Pilot. VACANCY ON THE BENCH.—The Attorney-General has arrived in town. It is beyond question that he declines to accept the vacant Baronship. The proof he thus affords of his confidence in the stability of the present Government is most gratifying. It must be also highly satisfactory to the public to feel that they will not want his important ser vices in Parliament in the eventful session which is ap proaching. Beyond the fact that there is to be no change in the Attorney-Generalship, nothing, we believe, is yet finally arranged.—Pilot. THE IRISH TREASURY.—It is understood that the visit of Mr. Rice, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to Dublin has relation to the new mode of paying the army in this country—the duties of the Irish Treasury being about to cease. The finan c i a l concerns o f th e co nst a b u l ary f orce will, it is also said, engage the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman. MORE TITHE DOINGS.—An auction was advertised to be held on Friday last, at Russelstown, in this county, the residence of Thomas Bunbury, Esq., at which a great crowd of persons attended, for the purpose of making purchases. A gentleman, known b y t h e name o f B en j am i n P eter M oss (a near relative, we understand, of the celebrated Trotty Moss, of Maryborough), who is a lay impropriator, attended for the purpose of serving processes ; and recognising a tithe defaulter among the crow d , h e i nstant l y di spatc h e d hi s son to his residence for some subpoenas. On his return, Mr. Moss served Byrne with a law process, upon which the crowd assembled to purch ase i mme di ate l y di sperse d, and would have inflicted seriou s i n j ury on th e process server, were it not for the interfere nce o f C ap t a i n C ar t er . The sale was instantly given up.—Th ese are some o f t h e fruits which follow in the train of tithes. We really feel ourselves bound to speak out, and t o express our f i rm b el i e f that melancholy results will follow the p rocee di ngs o f t i t h e hunters in this county ere the winter closes.—Leinster In dependent. The Irish papers teem with similar accounts respecting the operations of the State Church. VICEREGAL VISIT TO THE MADAGASCAR.--Saturday, shortly after two o'clock, his Excellency the Lord Lieute nant, the Countess of Mulgrave, and suite, visited the Madagascar, now lying in Kingstown harbour. There was a special train reserved by the railroad directors for their Excellencies and suite, in which they took their depart ure shortly after two o'clock. On their arrival at Kingstown, the assemblage pf persons in waiting to greet them was fully equal to any we have seen collected at the most nume rously attended regatta that has taken place in our bay. The cheers of the multitude were most enthusiastic. Th e appearance of the frigate was highly beautiful—she was dressed in her colours, and had her yards manned. The illustrious visitors were received with a royal salute of twenty-one guns, and partook of a splendid lunch on board. About five o'clock the viceregal party landed from the ves sel under a royal salute, and were hailed by the people with the like demonstrations of applause as before. Immediately on coming a-shore so smart a gale of wind and fain com menced blowing that the Madagascar was obliged to strike her topgallant -masts. The train then returned to town, and their Excellencies drove to the Viceregal Lodge, in the Plicenix-park. The Madagascar is under orders to sail on Thursday, for the West Indies. BANK OF IRELAND.—At a meeting of the Directors, on Friday, it was determined to raise the discount on Irish bills from 44- to 5 per cent. The Directors have also de clined taking Exchequer Bills, as heretofore, at par. STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—The Orange Mail of Mon day, under this head, gives somewhat less than the usual amount of robberies and outrages. There are, however, two moving stories—false or true we cannot undertake to declare—of homicide and conspiracy to murder. The last, which is said to come from a Westmeath paper, we copy :—. On Sunday a man named Ruddihen, who was before in custody for the murder of Mr. John Brock, at Balnamuck, in June, 1835, was committed to Longford gaol, charged with being concerned in a conspiracy to murder Mr. Brock. Ruddihen was admitted to bail at the last assizes. A per son named Heaney, formerly residing at Balnamuck, was apprehended in Manchester on a special warrant, for being also in the party. He makes the sixth person who is now in gaol for this conspiracy. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION AND CHARING-CROSS HOSPITAL. ( Abridged from a Morning Contemporary.) On Monday evening at eight o'clock, a numerous meeting of physicians, surgeons, and apothecaries, residirr , in and near the metropolis, was held in the Hunterian fiecture room, Great Windmill-street, for the purpose of giving Mr. Pettigrew, late senior surgeon to the Charing-cross Hospital, and Dr. Sigmond, late physician to the same, an opportunity of vindicating themselves from certain charges involving their private and professional characters, and of making certain extraordinary statements relative to the go vernment and administration of the above-named institu tion ; as also for the purpose of pronouncing a public opi nion upon these subjects. Dr. BIRKBECK, the oldest practitioner present, took the ehair. Mr. PETTIGREW, who was received with considerable ap plause, said, that though so deeply concerned in the state ment he was about to lay before his brethren of the profes sion, he would abstain from personalities, and confine him self to the general principles connected with the ques tion. He should, in order to be fully understood, briefly notice the history of this important charitable institution. Charing-cross Hospital took its rise from an ordinary dispensary principally through the interest and exertions of one individual—Dr. Golding. When Dr. Golding came into general practice in St. Martin's-lane, a num ber of poor persons used to apply to him for medical assistance. Dr. Golding having registered their cases, set about collecting subscriptions to procure medicines and open a dispensary. A house for that purpose was then taken in Villiers-street, and shortly after, in 1822, he (Mr. Petti grew), then residing in Spring-gardens, was solicited to be come surgeon to the young establishment, and he agreed. Dr. Golding was then: accoucheur, and Dr. Shearman was physician to the dispensary. For 12 years he (Mr. Pettigrew) gave his services to the dispensary without receiving a farthing's benefit. Then, the funds having increased, it was proposed to build an hospital ; and the site having been granted by Government, the present Charing-cross Hospital was erected, he (Mr. Pettigrew) having through himself, his family, and friends, greatly contributed to its finances. It was soon found necessary that the services of an additional surgeon should be en gaged ; but his colleagues unanimously admitted that the new colleague should not hold equal rank, nor partici pate in the emoluments from fees and lectures, to which he (Mr. Pettigrew) had, by 12 years of previous zealous and gratuitous services, entitled himself. And was not that a just position ?—(Hear, hear.) When the intention of Drs. Golding and Shearman became known, a number of applications for the appointment was made to him. One gentleman offered him 1,0001. to appoint his son to the place, but he (Mr. Pettigrew) thought it his duty to decline it, for he thought the gentleman assuming such heavy responsibility as this office would confer should be of equal standing with himself. Un fortunately—he used the word advisedly—unfortunately for him and the institution, Mr. Howship then ap plied for the appointment. Mr. Howship was a neighbour of his, though they were not on terms of in timacy ; but having weighed and examined his qualifica tions, he thought Mr. Howship the most eligible candidate that could be found. Dr. Golding and Dr. Shearman concurred in this view. In making the arrangements, Mr. Howship admitted that he had no right to the emoluments, but he (Mr. Pettigrew) thinking that it would be more con ducive to the interests of the hospital, end to mutual har mony among the officers, to have the rank equal, and the emoluments divided between the surgeons, proposed, that in stead of allowing him the entire emoluments for five years, Mr. Howship should give him 5001., and they should forth with be equal. [Mr. Pettigrew, affected to tears, was a b ou t to detail the family circumstances which then made that sum desirable, but the meeting, with loud cheers, unanimously cried out that it was unnecessary.] Ho then asked was there anything unjust or dishonourable in that proposition ( Loud cheers, and cries of " No, no.") And yet this had been called an act of moral turpitude. On which side was the moral turpitude ?—on his, who had proposed the compensa tion, or on his who had after due deliberation agreed to it, and paid it, and then divulged a private transaction, and made it a charge against the other party ? So far was Mr. Howship from then thinking so, that he soon after requested his (Mr. Pettigrew's) interest in getting his pupil, Mr. Tur ner, appointed assistant-surgeon, " for then," said Mr. Howship, "he should have part of the money back."— (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) Yet the Committee of the hospital retained Mr. Howship while it had dismissed him (Mr. Pettigrew). He hoped that he had proved to the meet ing, that so far from selling a place, he had but simply re ceived compensation for giving up half of the emoluments, to which he was unquestionably and exclusively entitled. —(Loud cheers.) Passing over private affairs, he would now advert to the management, or rather mismanagement, of Charing-cross Hospital, and if he had not complained to Dr. Golding, the director, of that mismanagement, the present discussion would never have taken place. He had waited for one year for improvement after the first remon strance, but still no improvement took place. He would not dwell upon the harsh and repulsive manners of Dr. Golding, but he must announce it as a fact, that not only an insufficiency, but an actual want of those things prevailed which were demanded for the relief and comfort of the poor within the walls of the hospital. Instead of a committee and board of managers, selected from the most liberal con tributors, Dr. Golding was, in his own person, dictator, director, and medical officer.—(Hear, hear.) He would not submit to such degradation, which was an insult to the profession ; and Dr. Sigmond, of all his colleagues, only had the spirit to join him in the resistance. The quiestion was, then, was the hospital established for Dr. Golding, or the relief of the poor ? Had Dr. Golding funds enough ? and for what purpose, if he had, did he draw subscriptions from the pockets of the British public ? The hospital was ruled by a committee of twelve, six of whom were to go out of office annually ; but they did not do so, and what the constitutional rules were no one could see, for Dr. Golding took great care to keep them under lock and key. (" Oh ! " and laughter.) The want of instruments and bandages— such as were to be found in the humblest dispensary—was notorious. Would it be believed, that when he performed the last operation, he was obliged to leave a tourniquet out of his own case on the patient, there not being one in the hospital?--(Hear, hear.) And this in an hospital in the most central part of the metropolis, to which eleven acci dents were often brought in one day ! There was not an operating table in the hospital ; they were obliged to use a lecturing-table, which turned on a pivot. An instance of the absurd yet most extensive parsimony pursued by Dr. Golding, it was enough for him to state that an individual convalescent from a fractured limb had to remain in the hospital some weeks longer for the want of crutches to walk away with !—(" Oh, oh !" and Hear.) All this he could prove by incontestable evidence. He would now say a few words in reference to the proposed union of the hospital with King's College. About a year and a half since the Bishop of London, through Lord Henley, a munificent contributor to the Charing-cross Hospit a l, propose d to un i te King's College with that institution, as the hospital was without a school, and the college was without an hospital. This proposition would he supported by the Arch bishop of Canterbury and some of the highest men in the kingdom. The terms proposed were not advanta geous, and he advised their rejection, but when, after a year and a half, he found that there was otherwise no hope of improvement in the hospital, he wished to bring about the union ; and for this he had been dismissed by a Committee composed of tradesmen to the hospital ! He was dismissed on the ground that he had entered into clandestine negotiations ; but he had in the February be fore advised Dr. Golding to promote the unio n . —(H ear , hear.) Since his dismissal every patient who was able to walk had left the hospital. In conclusion, he demanded the fullest inquiry, and threw himself upon the judgment of his brethren of the profession.—(Cheers.) Dr. SIGMOND had supported the proposition of the union of the hospital with King's College, because he was sure it would be for the benefit of both institutions, and that no thing else could redeem Charing-cross Hospital ; and he now, with Mr. Pettigrew, appealed to the judgment of the profession and the public, for it was only because he had supported Mr. Pettigrew that he had been dismissed. The CHAIRMAN was ready to hear any gentleman who could disprove what had been stated by Mr. Pettigrew and Dr. Sigmond. No one having appeared, Dr. COPELAND moved " That it is essentially necessary to the welfare of a hospital and for the character of its medical officers that it should be conducted by a weekly board of governors, and that this meeting is of opinion that the office of director, as established at the Charing -cross Hospital, is an appointment completely at variance with the constitution of similar institutions, and has been proved to have been highly detrimental to its interests." Mr. TUSON seconded the resolution. A scene of considerable excitement here ensued. Dr. Marsden brought forward several charges, which he was forced to abandon one after another, but yet would not give up his authority. The acquittal upon each item of Dr. Sigmond and Mr. Pettigrew was hailed with vehement cheers, and the words, " daring impudence, liar, falsehood," &c., were uttered by several persons. The Doctor, per ceiving the gathering storm, hastily withdrew. Mr. ORD then proposed, " That this meeting is of opi nion that no committee either is, or ought to be, intrusted with the power of superseding any medical officer of a public institution without the knowledge and sanction of the go vernors at large ; and that the dismissal of Dr. Sigmond and Mr. Pettigrew is an act of usurpation, and that the conduct of those gentlemen, professionally and publicly, renders such an act totally unjustifiable." Mr. Mit.ToN seconded the resolution, which was unani mously carried. Dr. HUNTER, in an eloquent speech, moved, " That the best thanks of the public and the profession are due to Dr. Sigmond and to Mr. Pettigrew for their attempts to cor rect the mismanagement of Charing-cross Hospital, which under the present system is utterly unworthy of public patronage and support." The resolution was passed with loud acclamations, and the two gentlemen returned thanks. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing dissolved. FOREIGN IN TELLIGENCE. FRANCE. PARIS, OCT. 2.—Letters from Bayonne of the 28th September, represent the little Court of Estella as again agitated by the most violent dissention. However, it ap pears the credit of the Bishop of Leon is declining, since he has not been able to obtain for a person whom he warmly supported, permission to wait on the Infant, and M. Erro, in spite of the Prelate, has hindered Don Carlos from passing the Ebro. M. Erro seems to owe his preponde rating influence to the support of the absolute Courts. Among the officers who perfectly seconded Gen. Alaix at Villa Robledo, private letters from Madrid mention two foreigners, who have come to support the cause of the Constitution of 1812. They are Gen. Oxholm de Dane, and Lieut.-Col. Mechteritz, of an ancient Saxon family. The first served with great distinction under the Emperor in the auxiliary Danish corps. They are both cavalry officers. A letter from Toulon, of the 22d of September, says that Admiral Hugon's squadron is preparing to put to sea again, and is taking in provisions for six months. Though it is not officially made known what is the intended destination of the squadron, it is supposed that if the Republican move ments should extend from Tolosa and Valencia into Catu lonia, three ships will take troops on board at Port Yen dres, to land them on the coast of that province. The de partment of the Eastern Pyrenees is crowded with troops. On the other hand, the Tagus, without French ships, and the events at Lisbon require that one ship of the line a least should be sent thither. PARIS, OcT. 3.—For some days past much has been said of a memorial in which M. Guizot shows the necessity of dissolving the Chambers. One of the most urgent argu ments of the Minister is said to be that the new Cabinet may depend on the support of the Carlist electors. Ban sens.—Messager, Oct. 3. FRENCH FUNDS.—PAnts, OCT. 3.

FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND. M. de Belleval, First Secretary of the French Embassy in Switzerland, arrived at Berne on the 26th ult., with the ultimatum of the French Government. On the next day the Duke de Montebello delivered to the Federal Direc tory the following note, whereby the diplomatic relations between France and Switzerland are suspended, until France receives the satisfaction she conceives she has the right to demand : " The undersigned, Ambassador of His Majesty the King of the French to the Swiss Confederation, has communi cated to his Government the note which the Federal Direc tory addressed to him on the 29th of August last. He has just received instructions to deliver to the Directory the following note :—lt is not merely in the present day that the appearance of foreign refugees in the territories of Switzerland has disturbed its repose, and compromised its independence. For more than two years their con duct, and the forbearance of several Cantons with re gard to them, have disquieted countries neighbours to Switzerland, and excited their discontent. Remon strances from those Powers were made immediately, and the Cantons were called upon to take such measures of precaution and security as the relations of good neigh bourhood and their own interests ought perhaps to have suggested to them, and which they ought to have adopted of their own accor d. F rance did not enter di rect l y i nto the discussion ; but, faithful to the sentiments she had so long entertained she took the occasion of testifying how much she had at heart the interests, independence, and dignity of the Confederation. In order to give proof of an attachment. g which h as b een cemen t e d by ti me b e t ween t wo neighbourm people, between two States equally interested . in maintaini ng the rights of Europe, the King's Govern ment interposed between Switzerland and the complaining Powers, counselling moderation on all sides, and endea vouring to pr event a d e li cate quest i on f rom b ecom i ng more complicated by irritation, and resort to force. Measures calculated to give confidence to Europe were consented to, or rather deliberated upon by Switzerland, and which were at the same time tending to secure her own repose. The Diet made wise promises ; France in a manner guaranteed their execution ; and thus, by her be nevolent intervention, saved Switzerland from either the risk of a conflict, Or the unpleasant consequences of a conces sion, by which her dignity would have suffered. It was im portant to her, i n f act , not on l y th at t h e i n d epen d ence o f Helvetia should be fully respected, but even that it should be treated with consideration in the most minute points. She had at heart—and her sentiments are not changed— to secure to a friendly nation the easy maintenance of that moderate and di gn ifi e d po li cy w hi c h h a d up to t h a t t i me directedits councils. Thus, for six years, France by her influence has supported that wisdom and moderation in Switzerland, which was promoted by men who were equally the friends of the independence of their country, and the enemies of anarchy and faction. Promises, however, have been imperfectly performed ; the object has not been ob tained ; the complaints of neighbouring Powers have been renewed ; and when on June 22, the Directory, recognis.led _ mg 'the insufficiency of the me a sures previously- taken, called upon the . Canton s t o a d opt more efficacious means , and, denounced to Fran ce th e cu l pa bl e proceedings of some of the foreigners, of whom the Helvetio territories had be come the asylum, t h e Ki ng 's Government applauded these wise resolutions ; an d, in order to facilitate their aded ac complishment, permitted such refugees as were expelled to make use of the French territory, as a path to their new destination. Thus called upon by Switzerland her self, who, avowing the existence of the plots which had been denounced, acknowledged the duties and rights which it behoved neighbouring Powers to exercise in their own defence, it felt itself bound to meet the intentions of that country, and second its wise provisions, laying down the true principles of the right of asylum, but at the same time assigning to that right those limits which the con duct of Switzerland herself so directly acknowledged. The whole world knows how the note in which the French Cabinet expressed its ideas, and which were, besides, con formable to the views and measures of which the Directory had taken the initiative, was received by the Diet, and commented upon by a party, which began to attack every thing in certain Cantons, and whose recent domination ap pears to have superseded the Government—a disastrous domination which, if it were prolonged, would at once pervert the policy and character, and even the manners, of a peo ple renowned for their uprightness, wisdom, and sense of true dignity. A note was delivered to the undersigned on August 29th, In answer to his communications. It an nounced the resolutions adopted by the Diet ; they were, in part, conformable to those measures of precaution which the undersigned had felt it his duty to advise ; and, al though they were not so complete or so energetic as the King's Government could have wished, no objection arose against the conclusum of Aug. 23d, which at least con tained an acknowledgment of the principle laid down by France. But in company with these resolutions was a note, presenting a strange answer to the reflections which the undersigned had received orders to communicate to the Directory. In this answer the counsel given by France, with equal disinterestedness and good will, is interpreted with bitterness and repelled with irrita tion ; her intentions are misconstrued, and her lan guage perverted. Certainly, France cannot help consi dering this act as a grave offence. Justly wounded, she sacrificed to the desire of preventing fresh complications all the feelings inspired by a legitimate resentment ; she imputed a language which she had full right to declare un exampled, not to Switzerland, but to the party which pre tends to assume domination over her. The King's Govern ment became fully convinced that from this moment the independence of Helvetia was ready to sink under the stroke of internal tyranny, and that there was an end to those pacific and well-regulated influences to which Switzer land had, up to that time, owed her welfare and repose. A faction, composed of contending elements, had usurped, either in public opinion or in the Council of the State, a preponderance fatal to the liberty of Switzerland. This liberty, consecrated by time, and guaranteed by habits, is the incontestible patrimony, the peaceful inheritance, of a nation which would compromise its fame in history if it ever suffered itself to be ruled by insensate conspirators, who have hitherto never gained any other success than that of bringing dishonour upon liberty. It was impos sible not to recognize the impression of the spirit of anarchy in some of the acts which have been just signalized, and, above all, in the publications which fol lowed them. But an unprecedented incident happened to complicate a situation already serious, and threw a sombre light on the origin and object of the deplorable change which appeared to be effected in the policy of Swit zerland. The plot of which the man named Conseil was the artisan or instrument, offers a new proof of the incre dible perfidy of the factions, and the no less incredible weakness of some of the constituted authorities. A snare was almost publicly laid for involving the French Em bassy ; and, stranger still, some of the authorities have been sufficiently weak or duped to be rendered accomplices of a plot got up by the enemies of all authority. Some refugees, it appears, had proposed to lead the Confedera tion to retract the principles and disavow the measures an nounced in the conclusum of August 23. Their success surpassed all their expectations ; an act of base revenge against the Representative of a great State, conceived and carried on by some Revolutionists, has, it may be said, been adopted by the legal authority as an act of reprisals by one Government against another. Pretended confessions have been torn, or feigned to have been torn, from an adventurer, with the knife at his throat. Those who had employed him as their instrument, arraign him before a self-constituted violent tribunal. By this ob scure court he is delivered over to public justice, which regularly enters upon the case, but accepts this series of secret crimes as the foundation of legal proceedings. An inquiry is ordered, not against the affiliated members of a redoubtable association, but upon the facts they created and then denounced. The Directory referred this unex ampled inquiry to the Diet ; and the Diet sanctioned by its vote the conclusions of a report in which the rights of nations were outrageously disregarded. Thus foreigners act as the police, and conspirators order arrests, and direct the authorities to proceed. Surely France may say, on the day when such acts are committed, respect to the French name is much less sacrificed than the feelings of independence in Helvetia, by those Cantons which have not dreaded to asso ciate themselves with such machinations. If such proceed ings are not promptly disavowed, France will ask whether the rights of nations still continue to subsist between two adjoining States, who entertain mutually so many principles of attachment and recollection in common. France, while leaving Switzerland time to relieve herself from disastrous and criminal influence, and to return to that system of moderation and justice from which she ought never to have departed, owes it to herself to testify in a forcible manner that she feels the insult, and expects prompt satis faction. Until this satisfaction is granted, the undersigned has received orders from his Government to suspend all relations with Switzerland, and in this attitude wait till a wiser policy has assumed its empire over her councils. It is from Switzerland, erring and enslaved, to Switzerland enlightened and free, that France appeals ; and it is from the last she expects a prompt satisfaction. She firmly be lieves that Switzerland will ere long find in her recollec tions, in her well-understood interests, and in her own ge nuine sentiments, inspirations which will preserve her from the perils to which she is exposed by a handful of foreigners —if, unhappily, it should be otherwise, France, strong in the justice of her cause, will no longer listen to anything but her offended dignity, and will decide by herself upon the measures she ought to take to obtain a due satisfaction. In fine, she will show, without disturbing the peace of the world, that she will never suffer herself to be outraged with impunity. The undersigned seizes this opportunity of offer ing to their Excellencies the Directors and Executive Coun cil of the Republic of Berne, the Federal Directory, assu rances o( his high consideration. Berne, Sept. 27, 1836. " DE MONTEBELL O." The Nouvelliste Vaudois states, that in the East of Swit' zerland the tardiness to execute the conclusum of the Diet is so great, that it has excited the discontent of the Minis ters of the Courts beyond the Rhine, who show a disposi tion to resort to a blockade. The Gazette de Coire, allud ing to the rumour of troops being ordered to Feldkirch, to be at hand for the blockade of Switzerland, says, that ac cording to an Imperial Decree, arrived at Feldkirch, from Vienna, the blockade, if it be ordained, will not be confined to merchandise, but extend to people and cattle. In a word, no Swiss will be permitted to enter the Austrian States for any purpose whatever. The Narrateur of St. Gall, on the other hand, affirms that it sees nothing of the movement of troops about which certain journals make so much noise. If in the Voralberg there is some activity, it proceeds merely from the annual manoeuvres in that country. GERMANY. VIENNA, SEPT. 21.—His Imperial Majesty has been pleased to confer on the Archdukes Ferdinand and John the rank of Field Marshals of the Austrian army, which promotion he has communicated to them in autograph letters, expressing his deep sense of the services which they have in a long series of years rendered to the monarchy and the army, and the great pleasure which he feels in giving them this mark of his affection and gratitude. PRUSSIA, SEPT. 20.—Several sentences passed on per sons condemned for revolutionary intrigues have lately been published, some of which are rather severe. But those who do not appear to be too deeply implicated will certainly meet with clemency. The penalty pronounced in co nformity with the law has already been very much mitigated in many instances.—Frankfort Paper, Sept. 29. a VIENNA, SEPT. 23.—Five per Cents. , 1024 ; F our per Cents., 991 ; Three per Cents., 73i ; Bank Shares, 1,326. —Allgemcine Zeitung, _Sept. 28. T URKEI r • a As the last instalment of CONSTANTINOPLE. SEPT. *."--- Russians are . and to the Russian indemnity is paid' the urkish authorities, Pr°ceeding to deliver up Silistria to the Danube. That Russia was not quit the right bank of the D had remained ste a p n , u and would have been unp better aid, i s easily induced to take this pleased that the military indemnity necessary for it to maintain its more natural, as it is the position in the East, because it sees its influence over Persia threatened from more than and Turkey . one quarter. A lready, last proposal w inter a was made b y an E ng li s h an d a French mercantile house to the Porte to raise the funds ne cessary p a ying the indemnity on very good terms ; cessaryhouses , two for tau . .offered to furnish the sum at par, on condition of receiving eight per cent till the repayment of the principal. When something transpired respecting these negociations, which were kept very secret, and were drawing to a conclusion, it was conjectured that these offers came only ostensibly from private persons ; but that ? in fact, they originated in a higher quarter. The Porte was therefore earnestly advised from another quarter against plunging the empire into debt, and the Sultan was invited to place more confidence in Russia, which was ready to show forbearance, and would not importune the Porte to fulfil its obligations. The consequence was, that the business was not concluded. After the failure of this attempt, a violent fermentation arose among the diplomatic body here. The intrigues which had hitherto been the order of the day were succeeded by energetic demonstrations, and the increased jealousy of France and England excited no small apprehensions respecting the preservation of peace. Admiral Rous sin and Lord Ponsonby did indeed assure the Porte in two # r~ t notes addressed to it that their Courts did not intend Atli offensively except in case of an open or underhand a tai k r on the independence of the Ottoman Empire ; but th nacing attitude which those two powers at that time §:='„,. Fumed in the Mediterranean, was not calculated to make(' Russia easy, nor was the conduct of the two ambassadors" at that time better adapted to inspire confidence, as it seemed as if they were resolved to leave nothing untried to excite alarm in the Porte, to make the Sultan suspicious of his allies, and if all this should fail, to proceed to the blockade, or even the destruction of the forts of the Darda nelles, in order to decide at oncethe oriental question in the Black Sea. Russia, which did not suffer itself to be de ceived by the pacific sentiments expressed in Parliament by Lord Palmerston, well knowing how much an enemy is to be feared who ceases to threaten and begins to act, pre pared itself for the conflict, and even made a show of putting Russian garrisons into the forts of the Dardanelles. Every thing gave reason to expect a collision, when the Northern Power suddenly thought fit to turn into another course, to withdraw to the interior of the empire part of its troops concentrated in the Crimea and on the Pruth, and partly to dismantle its squadron in the Black Sea. I will not inquire whether Russia was induced by the naval armaments of England, and by its love of peace and a wish not to leave the existing misunderstandings to the decision of the sword. In a word, an arrangement was made between the contending powers and the well-known Convention concluded at Constantinople, by which the instalments of the indemnity were fixed, and the time for the evacuation of Silistria determined. The debt is now paid, and Silistria evacuated. What has England gained by this ? It is true that from that fortress Russia commanded the right bank of the Danube, the whole country to the Balkan, with the exception of Varna, and the fortified po sition of Schumla was open to the Russian armies, and in this respect it cannot be denied that the position of Russia with respect to Turkey has become less threa tening. But at this moment, when the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is on every occasion suspected of projects of conquests, will all apprehension be allayed by the evacu ation of Silistria ? Cannot Russia at any moment pour its armies from the summits of Caucasus into the extensive plains of Asia Minor ? And can we announce that a Rus sian army would meet with serious difficulties in passing the Danube? The evacuation of that fortress, obtained by the warlike demonstrations of England, and as some affirm by English money, will hardly afford the present English Ca binet a sufficient pledge for the independence of the Porte and the security of British interests in the East. Its next demands will recur to the free passage of all English men-of-war through the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. But, even should England preval in this new contest, the state of affairs in the East would remain in all essential points the same, that is, a powerful state, increasing in extent and prosperity, opposed to a powerful decayed empire, which is scarcely able to prolong its frail existence without foreign protection, and all whose bulwarks are already in the possession of its too powerful protector—on the other hand a distant jealous friend, who cannot possibly be always so soon at hand when the pro - tege is threatened with danger from without. Only the prodigious extent of Russia, and the necessity of internal or ganisation, are perhaps circumstances that may in some de gree allay the appreh,ensions,of the antagonists of Russia. ALEXANDRIA, JuLir 1836. . (From Mr. Waghorn.) The Pasha has . just lost a highly talented and valuable officer in poor Galloway Bey, who died on the 3d instant. Few men leave this world more universally regretted than my late friend. His important services were duly appre ciated, and his loss sincerely regretted'by the Pasha. No man here has more thoroughly earned the honours conferred by the Pasha than poor Galloway Bey, cut off in the prime of his life, at the very moment when his talents and ener getic industry were about to bring his name before the world in connection with a work which will immortalise the name of its magnificent founder. I, of course, allude to the Suez railroad. It is fortunate Mr. Richard Galloway, the Bey's brother, is on the spot, and will doubtless con tinue the direction of the works commenced by my lamented friend, during whose severe illness be was employed by the Pasha in laying down the two lines of railroad near Mara bout ; one of which is now ready, and will be in immediate operation for the transport of stone from the quarries to the sea-side, from whence it is conveyed by pontoons across the harbour for the construction of the dry dock. The Turks, who never had any idea of the utility of a railroad until they saw the carriage move on the line now formed, were astonished and delighted. The Pasha has expressed himself much pleased, and is more than ever decided on the immediate construction of the road to Suez. ....... . The cotton crop is now near its close. There will not be above six to eight thousand bales more : prices have kept up well. A sale on the sth instant, averaged ds.l7 86-100, the first decline below ds.lB we have wit nessed for many months. The next crop will be very abundant, and the quality improved, the Pasha having greatly altered his system with the peasantry, to whom in his late trip to the Delta he advanced money to procure cattle and the necessary articles of husbandry, and has made arrangements by which they will obtain cash payment at an advanced rate immediately on the delivery of their crops, and be protected from many abuses and exactions to which they were formerly subjected. This has had the good effect of bringing into cultivation large tracts of land which had hitherto been neglected, and the increased reve nue which will accrue from this well-timed policy will en able Mehemet Ali to carry on the further improvement of his country. The Pasha's finances never have yet been in so brilliant a position as they now are. The Pasha's com mercial agents were never before so punctually reimbursed for their supplies as they now are. Never yet have the Pasha's debts amounted to so small a sum as they do at this moment ; his resources are immense, and his revenues are increasing. The value of his staple export, Mato cotton, is nearly trebled since its first introduction into this country. The agricultural resources of the country are every day improv ing under the energetic personal superintendence of the Pasha, who, - in the direction of a campaign, or in the pro secution of the most minute agricultural improvements, evinces the same master genius which directs all his enter prises. The Pasha's duty on silk is not in contravention of any treaty. The foreign merchant is at liberty to export his silk, subject to the Custom-house duty of three per cent. The tax of 25 per cent. is paid by the native culti vator, and surely no foreign power can pretend to interfere with Mehemet Ali's taxation of his own subjects. Mehemet Ali's tribute for Egypt and Syria is punctually remitted, and beyond that the Porte has nothing to demand. The Nik steamer has only a fortnight since returned from Constantinople, whither she took to the Sultan 600,000 dol lars. It is not to consolidate an usurped power I call upon England to protect the succession of Mehemet Ali ; it would, perhaps, too greatly weaken the Turkish empire to make Egypt and Syria an independent kingdom ; let these pashalids remain tributary vassals of the Porte, but, then, let them on these conditions be hereditary in the family of a man who, in the wonders he has accomplished, leaves to posterity a pledge that his descendants will be more than any others likely to continue the great work he has begun. To the firmness and shrewd sense of Mehemet Ali is alone to be attributed the little vantage ground Russia has yet gained ; but who can tell to what resort Mehemet Ali may be forced should a mistaken policy produce a breach of friendship ..n_ o_ n n p c aLt n o e f ct o io u n r G be o t v w e e r e n n me E n n t a ? land Egy an p a t s n d i n a o , mean the and it may be of vital importance to keep Egypt in the possession of those as well disposed towards the English nation as Mehemet Ali and his family would be, were their advances met by a conciliatory spirit and the certainty of support if needed. WEST INDIES. We have received Jamaica papers to Aug. :15. They state of Sir Amos Norcott—" We are sorry to learn, in consequence of the change about to take place in the government of this island, that our much-esteemed Lieute nant-Governor, Sir Amos Norcott, is about immediately to depart from our shores." SIR LIONEL SMITH. His Excellency's Message to the House of Assembly of Barbadoes : " I have the honour to announce to you, that his Ma jesty has been graciously pleased to remove me to the Go vernment of Jamaica, and that I am ordered to proceed thither by the earliest opportunity. " Though I have been unwillinc , to disturb your proro gation, I thought it my duty to call you together, to com municate the information ; and I avail myself of it, t o offer to your Honourable House my parting good wishes. " I pray that your Honourable House may be animated in all your proceedings by a sense of the weighty difficulties you still have to contend with, and that wisdom and fore cast may carry your deliberations to a successful issue. .. Whatever my future destiny may be, the happiness and prosperity of this island will continue to constitute one of my anxious hopes and wishes, and it has been in this spirit of goodwill that I have faithfully endeavoured to discharge my duties as your Governor." Then follows the address of the House of Assembly to the Governor-General. Our Windward Island papers do not contain any in telligence of importance. The principal subject alluded to in them is emigration, not from Europe, but from the seve ral islands to British Guiana, and, it is expected, to Tri nidad and this island.
